Template code
Usage
Set the hero to Fight mode.
Flag near Dragon.
Equipment
Herald's/Tormentor's Insignias.
Don't equip any weapon.
Usage
Upon entering Glint's Challenge, activate the Dwarf title and flag your heroes on the ledge between the dragon and the doors that the Destroyers enter from.
On occasion a Destroyer of lives will spawn outside of aggro range. This happens towards the end of the run, so just come back at your regular time and get heroes to target it, after that it's just another minute to kill the final four bosses.
Variants
Players who do not have access to Zei Ri to use Razah as the third Mesmer can use an E/Me or N/Me as substitution. Keep in mind this may lead the build to be less reliable.
Notes
Destroyers of Thoughts will not use Chaos Storm on allies without weapons/foci or with martial sets, hence the use of spear sets on heroes. Do not put caster weapons (wands/foci or staves) on your heroes or yourself.
Setting all heroes to fight mode prevents heroes from excessive kiting.
